Another hidden gem of many in Toronto, and another great and lovely video.

You walked right past my street. I love Bloor West/Swansea. Awesome place to live and grow up. You are correct. The border is the river but names are interchangeable for a couple blocks each way.

[@marcoferryhouse6658]

Hi Johnny, this is our living area 2014/2015. It is a very good area to live near the humber River. In the summer nights you can hear coyotes howling. Great to see all this again. We lives at old mill subway station. Thank you for this pictures, Marco and Yvonne

[@antoansah0096]

i used to walk from Rexdale to Old Mill every weekend, I feel nostalgic watching this video!

[@MC-do4dw]

Dude, that’s quite a walk coz it’s far enough 👏👏👏

[@MC-do4dw]

Sunday Brunch at The Old Mill is a nice treat! Also during special occasions like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.

[@waltershan]

GOD bless you Johnny. Toronto would seem lifeless without you sharing it's splendor in the freezing cold. Many of us who visit your channel, live hundreds of miles away. Thanks to you, we visit Toronto everyday. Even in lockdown, Toronto is a very beautiful city. Can't wait till all of this is lifted so I can visit.

[@vivianjohnson5323]

I went to the Old Mill Hotel a long time ago with my mother-in-law for a luncheon and murder mystery play. It was a birthday present. We took a bus. It was fun so nice to visit again if only a virtual visit. Thank You.

[@JohnnyStrides]

You're welcome and glad you enjoyed it!

My mother's Doreen Hayes school of Dancing was there beside Pizza Pizza for 60 years until she passed in 2016. Jazz Musician Moe Koffmans Son and wife opened music studio there and kept her picture up with his on the wall. That HSBC building corner of R. York and Bloor in the 60s was an old Woolworth store with old lunch counter and bar stools. I saw Hichcocks The Birds and Marnie back to back when they came out at the old Kingsway. I was Etobicoke girl born and raised. Thanks hardly recognize it now.

[@JohnnyStrides]

Neat!

[@cruisingwithwilliam]

[@MC-do4dw]

Guys, The Old Mill is a very nice place to bring a date to impress. They also have a patio during summer. But only bring a girl you are serious about coz it’s a little pricy and the ambiance is romantic 😊

[@humanwolf1984]

Can a Dog& fish count as a family sense my Human ONE can Tend to drive me Insane Johnny. 😉😵🐺🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@W67w]

These houses look similar to houses you find in England

[@subconsciouswave]

It’s all u.k. old tartarian design..Canada has the queen on our bills too

[@tnt8092]

I love this area of Toronto..I hope they leave these old homes alone and not make them modern..

[@mohammedibrahimsiddiqui4711]

Hi this neighborhood looks somewhat scary please comment

[@JohnnyStrides]

Scary? In what way.. rich people are going to come out of their house and attack you?

[@mohammedibrahimsiddiqui4711]

No it looks lonely and Ghost like town but I might be wrong

[@wandathornhill8135]

@@mohammedibrahimsiddiqui4711 Beautiful rich elite neighbourhood, quiet and serene. Not ghost like at all. Weather makes it look so now, but in the summer.....exquisite.
